Should Christians vote in elections?

This is the question of the signs of the times.

I would say it is dependent upon the situation.

1. Is there a group of people whose life is in danger?

2. Is there a group of people who are claiming to love a certain "victim group" but the evidence of providing redemption isn't really there?

3. Is there a divisive element that is important to Christian living, but the reality and proof of wanting to actually create a "quality of life" for these people really isn't there?

4. Are they victimizing people because the creator made them that way (racial DNA heritage, disability, size, shape, gender identity/woman's rights??)

5. Are they rejecting refugees who have "love for Jesus".... (Christians really shouldn't let unbelievers into their home, unless they are children or very frail victimized people).

6. Are they creating an illusion of "war is the solution" to corrupt men, when Jesus said to turn the other cheek?

All in all, consider the cause.  Consider whom we are to truly trust.  Consider the element in danger in putting trust in "fallible and/or wicked men."

In the case for terror groups encroaching upon the boarder line, there is an element of danger in such situations for those who are already within a certain country.  Something needs to be done to stop "gang rapists" and "terror groups."  Something also needs to be done to protect people who may be victims of "false accusation" for being a member of a "Gang rape" or "terror group" simply because of their nationality.

So should Christians actually "vote" in elections?  The answer is simply this, speak up for those who simply cannot speak for themselves.  Sometimes we need to do so, and sometimes we do not need to vote.

Focus more highly on this verse as we are living in this world:

Mat_28:19  Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
